Installing SS Brake Lines

I've read the how to and understand everything, but I've ran into a slight issue while installing my brake lines. My issue came about when it came time to do the front lines. You have to reuse the "intermediate" hard line when upgrading the lines. My intermediate hard line is horribly rusted at the fittings and have almost completely stripped. Naturally I don't want/can't reuse these lines and was wondering if they were available from the dealer or if I'm going to have to find a pair off of a donor car. I have the ability to make them myself but my schedule is busy and would rather just buy new lines and install them if that's an option.

I just replaced my front lines with stainless ones. I did not have to reuse my intermediate hard line. We're talking about the one connected to the bracket that mounts to the strut, correct?

Mine came off relatively easy and should be reusable. I can send them to you if you can refund my shipping costs.

That would indeed be the line I am referring to. Which SS brake line kit did you use, I'm using the Techna-fit kit. PM me some contact info and we can get things settled.

I used the Russell kit. It was labeled as a 3000GT kit though, not sure what the deal was there. PM on the way.
 

The 3000gt vr4 rear lines are funky & I can't remember what it is but I think it has two extra female fittings that won't work with our cars. I do carry a kit that eliminates the brackets in the front.

They are also still available new I believe. Cheap too. Same as 1gs.
